NIAGARAS PERILS. Incident*. Accidents and Narrow Escapes in aud About the Deadly River. Correspondence New York Time*. There were daring men before Captain Webb, and of course they found their way to Niagara. One jumped from the bridge, 192 feet, to the swirling current. For fifty feet he fell like a plummet. Then he turned over twice. At last he struck the water with ' an awful slap—what the boys call a “bellywhopper.” After reading an account of a fatal accident one of the numerous Mrs. Partingtons asked if the man died. So I plainly say this man died, probably before lie reached the water. And yet perhaps that Idea, too, has gone to meet the exploded legend of William Tell. But such little accidents only simulate the reckless. Another Jumper soon appeared, ns soon another twimroer may. He wore a harness over his shoulders. To it was attached a wire running loosely over a cylinder on the bridge. That Kept his feet straight toward Davy Jones’s locker, and he survived the leap, to liis considerable personal profit. From bridge to the water he went in four seconds—the best time on record. Another foolhardy feat was performed by some of the reckless tnen who decorate almost inaccessible landscapes with possibly truthful but most certain 1 innpropos puffs of ague pills, liver-pads and such. A log or.ce lodged forty rods nbove Goat Island. For four years it lay there, seemingly as far beyond human reach as the north star. It touched the pride of certain shameless nnd professional advertisers, who were famous for their vandalism, that such a chance should be wasted. So when the rapids were thinly frozen over they made their cautious way to the log, and soon there was a gorgeous sign fixed, 12 feet by 4, a hideous eyesore, inescapable, on the very forefront of one of the world’s grandest spots, i. e.: 5 GO EAST VIA LAKE WINMIMSUOGKK It. R. Their deed almost met its deserts. They treated the log too roughly. A hole was made through the ice, and the current soon did the rest. It was even betting that they would not get ashore. But they did. This was not a fatal accident. Os accidents some very strange ones are recorded. One lady stooped for a cup of water, lost her balance, aud was out of reach find over the falis almost before her amazed husband knew what had happened. Another •lady stooped to pluck a flower on the brink of Table Rock. She was taken up dead from the rocks below. A rhyming, irreverent tourist on the same day recorded a bit of elegiac poetry which would have made him man of mark in Philadelphia. He simply wrote: “At the early age of twenty-three Was pitched into e-ter-m-ty.” In 1875 an accident equally sad and foolish occurred. An engaged couple went behind the falls, into the Cave of the Winds, without a guide. The lady actually sought to bathe in a pool which even the guides never visited. Her lover lost his life in trying to save hers. Perhaps the most dramatic accident was the following: A playful young man caught up a charming child who was watching the tumbling waves. “Now, Lizzie, I am going to throw you into the water,” he said, and swung her back and forth. She screamed, struggled, and slipped from his hands. He gazed after her, realized what he had done, and ieaped. Rescue was hopeless. Perhaps he did not deserve death, and at least censure may die with him. Os escapes, there are one or two narrow', almost beyond belief, and which involve ktories of skill and bravery well worth telling. Not many years ago a painter was at work on Second Sister’s Island, when he fell into the w’ater He was old and weak, and while his position was not very dangerous at first, he soon floated down and toward midstream, when, just as he seemed hovering on the brink, and exactly forty feet from it, if contemporary records are to be believed, he caught on a rock. How long would his muscles endure the strain? And who would rescue him. and how? The crowd was helpless until a guide appeared with a coil of rope. One end lie left in trusty hands and with the other he plunged into the boiling tide. When he reached the poor painter the old man still held in his hand the put tvknife with which he had been working. He shifted the knife to his pocket, tied the painter to the rope, and they reached the shore safely. In another case a boatman was crossing the riverabove the falls, when a fog suddenly came up. lie lost his bearings end knew he was drifting to death. His cries alarmed the village, and bells were rung l for him to row toward them. Then an oar broke. The only hope lay in a paltry little anchor, and a common rope, which was. moreover, much worn. He examined every foot, nay, every inch, of it; he tugged at the knots at each end. Time and space were precious, but he could not afford to make a mistake. Then he threw it over. It bumped along the stones, and his heart beat each ti'iue it failed to catch a grip. At last it caught and brought the boat up standing, while the tense string throbbed like the base gut of a harp. For a moment it held. How soon would it part? He shrunk from feeling along the strands. He was more afraid not to, lest he should read his fate in the twine tense and twanging under the current. Inch by inch his fingers traveled to his arm’s length. So long as it held there he was safe. Time and time again through the long night he did this, but never; he said, without a heart like lead and hands quivering like a leaf. When morning dawned, as at last it did, he was easily saved. In another case the danger to life, though considerable, was not imjniingnt A tug was towing three scows, none went adrift With admirable promptness and address the captain of the tug cut loose the rest of his tow and steamed ahead of the drifting barge. There he held it by steam power, and when the others came along a line was passed, the throttle was thrown dead open, and it was sought to make way up stream. But they had drifted fairly within the grasp of the spirit of the waters, and for a time it seemed he would not let go his own. Finally a foot was gained, in a few minutes another, and then the tug of war was virtually over. An “escape” of another sort was that of a murderer. The sheriff whs behind him. the river in front, and only the wires of the old bridge at Lewiston to help him across. Hand over hand he began the passage. His hands quickly blistered, and then they bled. Again and again he rested his arms by hanging by - his legs. At last he reached the opposite bank and lay panting full an hour before he continued his flight. The feat was certainly a remarkable one for an amateur. There is no telling how many crimes are hidden in this deadly river. But one. comparatively recent and very remarkable, has never yet been completely told or solved. One morning a body was found. Over the face was a handkerchief. Around the neck was a rope, tightly drawn nnd knotted at the back, aud the end frayed. In the head was a bullet hole. Whose was the body in life, and how had it come to its foul end? It appeared that one 0. J,. Rowell had registered recently at a hotel. He had complained of the loss of SBOO. His room had not been slept in, and his clothes were found on the bank. The coroner’s jury found that the body was Rowell’s. But presently Rowell turned up, or rather a detective turned him np, and his conduct,was explained by family matters not pertinent here. Then it was ihought the body belonged to one Close. The

description of its height, weight, head, neck, bauds and feet agreed with Close’s, aud lie had had a “presentiment” that he would soon he missing. “Presentiment” was scarcely the word, for it soon appeared that he was an eloper and a bigamist, and had no use for any remains ostensibly his. Then it was sought to identify this foundling corpse with a certain H. T. Raymond. What Raymond did before he was missed I cannot say, nor can I finish the story. It must remain artistically, or inartistieallv, incomplete. The body was never positively fathered, so to speak, and the mystery remains. But a certain old saw about murders will nevertueless doubtless continue to bo quoted. THE TELEGRAPHERS. No Important Development* Yesterday— A Few Striker* Return to Work New York, July 30.—There is very little new in the telegraph war. The threatened strike of railroad operators is not ordered yet. Five members of the Brotherhood returned to their desks this morning in New York, two in Montreal, and one each at Raleigh, N. C., and Richmond, Va. Business at the Western Union office was cleared last night, and is now moving promptly. The strikers are still firm and confident of success. Linemen Renounce the Brotherhood —Tlmnks for the Company. St. Louis, July 30.—Four striking linemen have been restored to service by the Western Union Telegraph Company, after openly renouncing the Telegraphers' Brotherhood, of which they were members.

The service has had its deficiences, but has been better than we could have expected under the trying circumstances in which your company is now placed. Today’s service has been as good as any your company ever gave us, and fully equal to the best.” The business, both commercial nnd for the press, now being handled in the main office of this city, is almost equal to the general average in amount, and is being done with scarcely less promptness and accuracy thau prior to the strike.
